Tap Troupe (タップスター^?, Tap Star) is the 1st Rhythm Game of Stage 7 (31st overall) in Rhythm Heaven Fever.

Gameplay

In this game, the player controls one of four Tall Tappers. The tappers' legs occupy most of the screen, while their faces are seen in the bottom left. The player must maintain a steady beat of tap dancing with the rest of the tappers.

At certain parts of the game, a voice says "Rea-dy!" indicating a rhythm change. The player must shift to a 4:3 polymeter rhythm. This continues until the voice says "Tap, tap, tap!", signaling the rhythm is going to change back. The final "tap" is always on the next available beat in the original groove, regardless of where the previous two land, meaning the distance between the second and third tap is occasionally shorter or longer.

Trivia

• The Tall Tappers' box-headed, human-like appearance makes them resemble the Space Dancers and The Paddlers from previous games. The troupe's leader is also implied to be Space Gramps, furthering the connection.
• The "Rea-dy!" audio cue is later repurposed in Rhythm Heaven Megamix for Lockstep in Right-Hand Remix, Flock Step in Final Remix and Tangotronic 3000 for the finishing pose.
